Anxiety

25 YEARS IN HEALTHCARE

& Complementary Therapies Help for Anxiety Recently I’ve been seeing more and more clients suffering with anxiety in my complementary therapy practice. Anxiety is unpleasant feeling, typically associated with uneasiness, fear, or worry. We feel threatened by something that we can’t control or avoid. When my sister, Heather was diagnosed with cancer I started to hear my heartbeat pounding; something I’d never experienced before. Other symptoms can be shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, vomiting and feelings of despair and danger. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress as it sharpens us up to deal with difficult situations. However, it can become excessive and start ruling our lives and then we may need professional help. Around 10% of us will suffer from anxiety attacks at some point our lives. So if I’m describing you here, don’t struggle on alone. There’s a lot you can do a lot to help!

Endorphins are a nature’s way of helping with anxiety.

Physical touch, laughter, sexual activity and exercise all cause the body to release a flood of endorphins which lift our mood, helping us restore calm and get a better perspective during episodes of stress and anxiety. So all ways to help our endorphin levels consistently will help. I found a time with friends or watching a funny film, having a really good giggle seemed to help shake the anxiety out of my body, leaving me rejuvenated and refreshed.

A yoga and meditation help calm the mind and body too.

I find Bowen Technique, Massage and Reflexology

bring comfort and feelings of peace with a soothing effect on the body and mind. The breathing slows, heart rate lowers and disrupted digestion usually improves too. Anxious clients often need an opportunity to talk or cry too, offloading their worries in a safe place with someone who will listen quietly and be a confidential sounding board. Sometimes we can only talk to our friends and loved ones so much and a professional ear is welcome. Talking therapies may be prescribed your doctor. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, hypnotherapy or counselling to help overcome disruptive worries.

Aromatherapy can also be helpful for calming and

comforting, especially neroli, rose, frankincense, and lavender. The oil can be sniffed during stressful times and a drop on your pillow can help with restful sleep too. Flower Essences such as Rescue Remedy or Emergency Essence are a wonderful first aid to help calm nerves. Anxiety can be a very serious condition so don’t suffer in silence. Do seek medical help if it’s ruling your life.

If you’d like to know if Bowen could help you, do give me a ring now on 01702 558623.

Sunshine at Last by Sharon Longshaw This is an excellent month to pick out a few new perennials, and plant them in the garden or once the soil has warmed, you can sow seeds for perennials directly into the garden. Divide spring flowering perennials like, Primroses, Arabis, and Aubrietia. Start to pinch your Chrysanthemums to encourage them to be bushier and have more blossoms, then pinch them again, every 6 inches or so, as they grow. Check your Roses for mildew, aphid, black-spot or other disease problems or insect infestations, if they appear take steps to control them right away. Your roses will need to be fertilized each month through the summer. Make sure your climbing roses are securely tied into position. Prune them after blooming. Deadhead your annuals to encourage continued flowering and remove dead foliage from your spring flowering bulbs, but only after it has died back naturally. Once the foliage of Daffodils has died back, you may divide and move the bulbs to a new spot. Daffodil clusters should be divided up every 3 years to ensure good blooming. Stake tall flowers to keep them from blowing over in the wind, add a stake to each planting hole as you’re transplanting, then tie the stem loosely to the stake as

the plant grows. Gladiola corms can still be planted for successive blooms. Begonias can now be safely planted outdoors. As the weather dries out, your container grown plants may need daily watering, especially if the pots are exposed to the drying sunlight. Continue to watch for insect or disease damage throughout the garden and take the necessary steps to control the problem, not forgetting to change the water in your bird bath regularly, standing water may become a breeding ground for mosquito larvae. Keep the weeds pulled, before they have a chance to flower and go to seed again, otherwise, you will be fighting newly germinated weed seed for the next several years. **At exactly 12:00 Noon, on June 15th, set your sundial for 12:00 to get the most accurate time reading throughout the summer. ** Be alert to slug and snail damage... Seek and destroy ALL slugs! Provided by Flower Power Garden Services www.southendgardener.co.uk 01702 305554

Twelve people have been arrested after five warrants were executed at addresses across Basildon today, as police crackdown on suspected drugs offences in the area on Friday, May 4. Around 40 officers from across the county accompanied by firearms officers stormed addresses in Luncies Road, Brownlow Bend, Latchetts Shaw, Wayletts and Powell Road in Laindon as part of their latest efforts to disrupt a suspected drug dealing gang known locally as ‘The Bush Boys ’. A quantity of class A and class B drugs were seized as officer searched the properties under the Misuse of Drugs Act. A total of 27 people were searched for drugs, and 12 were arrested. A four figure sum of cash was seized under the Proceeds of Crime Act from the address in Brownlow Bend and weapons included bladed articles and baseball bats were seized from the address in Wayletts. Nothing was found and no one was arrested at the addresses in Powell Road and Latchetts Shaw. Basildon district commander, Chief Insp Glen Pavelin, said: “If we suspect there are people or a group of people using Basildon as a place to deal or use drugs, we will take very strong action to ensure they get the message that this kind of behaviour is not welcome in Basildon. “Drugs use and supply and other crimes associated with it have a negative impact on neighbouring properties and on the wider community, and I would encourage anyone that knows who is doing this in their area to tell us who is responsible.” Of the 12 people arrested, a 19-year-old man was charged and appeared at court for possession of an offensive weapon and a public order offence of using threatening words/behaviour. Two men, aged 20 from Ilford and 20 from Basildon have been released on police bail until July 21 following their arrest on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs, while enquiries continue. An 18-year-old man from South East London has been bailed on offences of possessing an offensive weapon and public order offences until late May. A 25-year-old man from Basildon and a 20-year-old man from Basildon have been released on police bail until July 12. The 20-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A and class B drugs, and the 25-year-old was arrested on suspicion of possession of class B drugs.

Chief Insp Glen Pavelin

Three men from Basildon aged 33, 45 and 40 and a 18-year-old woman from Benfleet received police cautions for drugs possession.No further action was taken against a 35 and a 21-year-old man from Basildon. The warrants form part of an ongoing investigation and effort to deter people coming to Basildon with the intention to supply or use drugs and commit crime.
